Sunnyside Cemetery Tours

Local historian Veldean Myers will provide insights into the cemetery, its history and some of the residents who made up the human element of the gold rush.

The event will be held at the Sunnyside Cemetery which is south of town on Seventh Street. Meet just outside the gate in Pauper’s Field by 10 a.m. This year’s focus is on the Woodmen of the World.

Pre-paid credit card reservations are encouraged and can be made at VictorMuseum.com. Tickets at the event are by cash only. Proceeds benefit the museum’s building and restoration fund.

Be sure to dress appropriately for mountain weather (which can include wind, cold temperatures, snow, and rain), wear good hiking shoes or boots, and bring water and sunscreen. There are no restroom facilities at the cemetery.
